Let Time Go Lightly
performed by Harry Chapin on "Harry's Greatest Stories Live"
written by Steven Chapin
Chorus:
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
I let time go lightly when the day is through
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
I let time go lightly with you
Verse 1
Morning, a time for breaking ground and sowing seed
And yet we give up our sunshine so we can buy what we need
And that leaves the evening to share a fire with a friend or two
to lose sight of the hours; to go lightly with you
Chorus:
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
I let time go lightly when the day is through
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
I let time go lightly with you
Verse 2
Old friends, they mean much more to me than a new friend
'cause they can see where you are and they know where you've been
Music has been my closest friend, my fiercest foe
'cause it can take you so high; yes, it can take you so low
When I was a child my mother would help me along
She'd rock me to sleep and sing me a song
So I learned to love the music of all the tunes in my mind
The changing of chords, the rhythm of time
Chorus:
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
I let time go lightly when the day is through
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
I let time go lightly with you
Yes I let time go lightly with you
and a fire and a friend or two
With you and a fire and a friend or two
A friend or two, and you
